Number of surfaces the heat must pass through

This spreadsheet can give you a picture of the conseqvenses of your choises.

What i allready have put in of figures, is just normal to my stoves. You can change them as you please.
It is very simplified, and mostly say something about your choises of the way you build the outher skin. The ef
If you by mistake destroy a calculation, just download it again from my homepage and start all over.

If you want to have more than one layr for instance, you may have to put a thin layer of mineralwool inbetween these two layrs.
If so, try to change the thickness of the red bricks from 11,5 to 23cm, and add 0,5cm of mineralwool, and se what happens !
You could allso try to make two layer of 5cm. Brick + 20cm of granit. This will be quit different.
Maybe you want to build a stove, where some of the surface is build into a corner of existing walls, and therefor have 2 layrs, and th
Then you can calculate the areas of the stove seperately and put the result together afterwords.
The number of surfaces (row20) is affected by the number of outherskinns you chose. If you have a singelskinn you have 2 surface

I have made space for 3 more materials of your choise. If you add some here, you maybe have to copy/paste the calculation in the K
since the sum in K21 cannot calculate with false arguments.
If you go down from here in this spreadsheet, you can calculate the performanse of your core.
In the graf to the right, you will se the output from your stove during 48 hours.

Here you can calculate the temp of your core just after a fire:
The result will appear in J18 redrawn the temperature of the livingroom (20C)
